I’m off on holiday — back towards the end of April. I’ve written a new post for CSS3.info before I go: Kill IE6 to let CSS3 live.
I’ve moved to my new domain: www.Broken-Links.com (no, I don’t like the hyphen either). RSS Feeds should be updated automatically, and all old links should redirect here… fingers crossed…
This design is a work in progress, but I was forced to bring it into action early as the previous theme was annoying me! Apologies to visitors using IE6, as I haven’t had the chance to make it fully compatible yet; mind you, you really should upgrade!
I’m working on a new theme for the site, and accidentally overwrote the stylesheet on this one, forcing me to revert back to the only saved version I have — an old, unfinished version. Pardon the way the site looks for a few days.
How many great sites and interesting articles are we missing out on because we don’t read their language?
I was thinking about this as I read the blog of Rafael Oliveira, a web designer from São Paolo. I’m fortunate enough to be able to read Portuguese, but most people aren’t; that means that, unless his posts are ever translated, you’ll never get to read them. I can just about muddle through with written Spanish, but I’m sure that I’m missing some of the nuance in blogs like Brainet. And even when translated, this article holds very little meaning at all for me:
There is a rule in regard to the production which, assuming, that how it was the beginner, when the person who is identified the professional Web designer does is shy in Web design and even “the manner” can say. “You did not know”, “you are not taught”, with it does not pass. Because, because [anata] is to be the professional.
I’m fairly sure that the technical hurdles and solutions are universal, but I can’t help but wonder what theories we’re missing because they never get translated.
For no particular reason other than idle curiosity, I made a demo of a broken neon sign, using CSS Animations (you’ll need Firefox 5, Safari or Chrome to see it). It doesn’t degrade well at the moment, the root cause of which is down to what I think is a bug in Firefox’s implementation — I’ll need to confirm that.
One quick learning from making this: it would be really useful to have CSS Mixins when using a lot of repetitive keyframes, as I do in this animation. The W3C seem to be quite against them, however.
